Your Droid is a strong multimedia Smartphone with the ability play back many different audio and video formats. The large
screen enables you to turn your Droid sideways to enjoy a video in its original 16:9 ratio. You can also use your Droid to
search YouTube, watch videos, and even upload videos to YouTube right from your phone.

The Music Application—Audio (Droid and Droid X)

Let’s take a look at how the Music application works and how to enjoy hours of music while you work.

Touch the Music icon on the Home screen. The Music application presents you with any music and audio files that you have copied
to your Droid.

Touch Albums to filter the view by album title. Touch an album name to reveal songs on that album and then touch a song to
play it.

Touch Songs to filter the view by song title. This shows all songs by all artists. Touch a song to play it.

Touch Playlists to show any music playlists that you have synchronized to your Droid. We cover how to do that later in the
chapter.11

Don’t Forget the Search Button

One important thing to remember is the Search button. No matter what view you are in, you can always touch the Search button
and either type or speak your search.

Go Further: Scroll by Letter

In any view you can scroll through your albums, artists, or songs quickly by touching the scroll box that pops out on the
right of the screen. Move it up and down to jump to items beginning with the letter of the alphabet that shows in the large
box. So for example, to jump to artists that begin with the letter D, scroll until you see the letter D appear in the large
box, and then release the scroll box.

Touch to delete the current song. Confirm the deletion on the next screen.

Touch to let your Droid start the Party Shuffle feature.

Your Droid Is the Party DJ

When you enable Party Shuffle, your Droid creates an on-the-fly playlist and chooses 12 random tracks for it. As it nears
the end of the playlist, it adds another 12 random tracks. It keeps doing this until your turn off Party Shuffle.

Working and Listening to Music

While your music is playing, you can continue using your Droid without interrupting the music.

To work on other applications while listening to music, touch the Home button. The notification bar displays an icon indicating
your music is still playing.
